Plot Summary: Dante Hicks is a clerk at a local convenience store in New Jersey. On one particular Saturday morning, he gets called in on his day off. Once there, he must deal with multiple problems. The shutters outside won't open. His ex-girlfriend, whom he is still in love with, is getting married. His girlfriend, who bugs him about starting college, has revealed certain, uh...stuff about her past. His boss hasn't come in to take his place. He has a hockey game at 2 o'clock. Another ex has died, and today's the last day he can go to her wake. He must deal with customers that aren't so intelligent. His friend, Randal, a clerk at the video store next door, is even less dedicated to his job than Dante, and is always bothering Dante's customers. And the biggest problem of them all: HE'S NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TODAY!! Can Dante manage it all?

COMMENTS?

And this was my other Blu.

Also I think I give out 5 stars too many times. Oh well.

Still his best film by far.

Back before dialogue driven comedy wasn't completely overrun like it is now.

I'd give it 37 stars... but that's not an option.

Anyone ever watch the pilot to the Clerks TV show that ABC tried to make, with little to no input from Kevin?

It really couldn't have less to do with the movie, other than it features two characters named Dante and Randall who work in a convenience store and a video store respectively.  For one thing the Dante and Randall characters act nothing like they are portrayed in the film.
